Just Stop Oil Paints Stonehenge Orange, and for Some Reason Nobody Killed Them

Why do we tolerate these entitled twits? 

Honestly...if somebody is stupid and sociopathic enough to glue themselves to roads, cement their hands on sidewalks, throw soup or paint on art, or desecrate grand historical sites, why don't we just let people beat the crap out of them?

Does that sound uncivilized? Sure, it does, but that is the point. We are watching civilization get destroyed from both ends--savages roaming the streets and the entitled brats of the elite class throwing tantrums from above, and civilization can't survive without somebody to defend it. 

Ironically it is the entitled brats who created the conditions for the barbarians at the bottom of the social ladder to run riot. These people, with their "social justice" DEI ideology, decriminalize everything short of murder (and if you murder the right person you can get away with that!), invite the sociopaths from every country in the world onto our shores, and then turn their attention to destroying everything great or historically significant from our own culture.

The horseshoe theory comes to life--the top and bottom social strata of society coming together to destroy everything in between. 

When I wrote about the Magna Carta incident, I argued that we should use deadly force against people who attack culturally significant artifacts such as great works of art, the Constitution, or the Magna Carta. I was not joking or being hyperbolic about that. I really do believe that certain artifacts are worth far more than a single human life because they are part of the cultural inheritance of humanity.

Of course, I am not talking about some random third-rate statue in a public square in Des Moines--but if somebody attacked a Michaelangelo, I wouldn't hesitate to shoot them and would applaud the guard who did. 

When the Taliban destroyed the Buddhas of Bamiyan, I felt the same, and the Just Stop Oil fanatics are essentially a Western version of the Taliban. 

In wars, people have rightfully risked their lives to defend great works of art, and in apocalypse movies, you often have scenes where great works of art are preserved in some way--even when the fate of humanity is at stake, resources are poured into preserving not just lives, but our heritage. Thus it should be.

Stonehenge has survived far worse than this paint attack, but I don't shrug it off. Perhaps shooting the bastards would have been excessive, but a baseball bat to the legs and arms would have been fine by me. No pussyfooting around with these guys.

Most great Western movies have a theme of hard men doing hard things to save softer civilization. We don't celebrate these hard men because they are hard--in fact, these men are not quite a part of the society they are defending, which is why they ride off into the sunset. 

Civilizations need those hard men to defend what is worth preserving, and it needs preserving not just from the barbarians, but the neobarbarians our elites are creating. 

Our elites are fine with this attack on our culture--it is their children and peers who are committing these atrocities. 

So expect a new generation of hard men to step up to defend our culture, or to see it collapse.
